Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo honoured as Europe's top two players of the 2010's

Real Madrid have been pretty inconsistent on the pitch this season as the Los Blancos sit third on the LaLiga table. With the Madrid outfit missing out from Copa del Rey glory again, the Madridistas are turning nostalgic to reminisce their glory days. Their glory days are not far behind as Sergio Ramos and Zinedine Zidane led the club to three consecutive Champions League titles in what is a period of success better by no other team in recent times.

Since the start of 2000’s, Real Madrid have been extremely successful. They have won LaLigas, Copa Del Reys and multiple Champions League titles as well. So the inclusion of two Real Madrid players in the list of Top 3 players of the last decade is not surprising. 

The list including information from the International Federation of Football for History & Statistics has current Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos alongside former Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo as the two players named in Europe’s top three players of the previous decade.

Manuel Neuer left behind as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos honoured 

Ronaldo and Ramos have absolutely dominated the LaLiga whenever they took the pitch and were at the peak of their game during the 2010-2020 decade. The duo won a lot of trophies together and had a global influence on the game. With a decade gone, these players are still termed world-class with Real Madrid looking shaky without Ramos on the pitch when the club capitan is either rested or unavailable due to injury. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, moved to Serie A side Juventus and has been the Italian league's best player and leading goal-scorer.
